There is some good information here on Rail Passes, however, passes are not exactly tickets. When I travel to Europe (at least 3 times a year) depending on how long I'll be there for, I find sometimes a point to point ticket works best for my plans.
The best website I've found so far to offer great prices and offerings on these train tickets is www.raileurope.com.
There are some links on this blog to railpass.com, however, this site does offer anywhere near the point to point tickets that Rail Europe does, I don't think that site will ever be able to provide as many tickets as Rail Europe, I believe Rail Europe belongs to the European railroads, railpass.com is simply more of a technology driven company, not so much railroad driven.
All I know is that I've been using Rail Europe for many years, even before they had a website! The product line they provide is great and prices are fair! Check them out for your next trip, you won't be disappointed!
